  Tributes(赞美之辞)have been made by technology company bosses and world leaders, with US President Barack Obama saying the world had "lost a visionary(有远见卓识的人)"."Steve was among the greatest of American innovators —— brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it," said Mr Obama.

  A statement from Mr Jobs's family said they were with him when he died peacefully on Wednesday."In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he loved his family deeply," they said, requesting privacy and thanking those who had "shared their wishes and prayers" during his final year.

  Apple said the company had "lost a visionary and creative genius(天才)and the world have lost an amazing human being".Tim Cook, who was made Apple's CEO after Mr Jobs stood down in August, said his predecessor had left behind "a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple".Flags are being flown at half mast outside the Apple headquarters(总部)in Cupertino, California, while fans of the company have left tributes outside Apple shops around the world.

  The heads of other leading technology companies have also paid tribute, including Microsoft boss Bill Gates, who said "For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been a great honour.I will miss Steve very much."

  Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg thanks Mr Jobs for "showing that what you build can change the world" while Sony Corp president and CEO Howard Stringer said:"The digital age has lost its leading light."

Dear Mom,
I’m sorry that I can’t go back home for Mother’s Day next week.  On that day, I’ll have to go to an important meeting for my boss, who helps me a lot with my work and life here.  But I’ll find time to see you at home soon.
Mom, thank you for everything you’ve done for Tim and me.  After Dad died ten years ago, you had to work in a supermarket in the daytime and in a restaurant at night.  But you always gave us two your love and care.  Though you don’t have to work now, I still remember your coming home and feeling tired many evenings.
Tim is going to finish his studies next month.  He said he would move back from school and look for a job neat home.  I’m glad you won’t live by yourself anymore.  Let’s plan to take a trip in the near future.  It’s been years since the three of us took a trip together.
Happy Mother’s Day.  I love you, Mom.
                                  Best wishes,
                                     John
